Welcome

Welcome to our class blog! You are currently enrolled in a course entitled "American Century." Last semester we covered the inception of the United States, the building of this nation by founding fathers and mothers, and the trials, tribulations and triumphs leading Americans up to the Civil War. This semester we will cover Reconstruction through the 20th century. Our blog will serve to keep us up to date on assignments, as a forum for survey and discussion, and as a launching pad to the rest of the web which will help aid our research as historians. Enjoy!

Due Wednesday April 6th

Both blocks: We are moving on to Chapter 20! Read and take notes on pg. 569 through pg. 577 stopping before "Running and Reforming the City."

Next, call your parents and/or grandparents and find out from where your ancestors immigrated. You may want to ask when they immigrated, why, and where they settled. Do both sides of your family!

If you are an international student, find out if your family has always lived where they have...you might have immigration stories in your background too! If you are adopted, you may do your biological family if you have information or your adoptive family, your choice!

Create a rough family tree using GoogleDoc (either a drawing or document template) and email me the link before the start of class Wednesday. Make sure to change the sharing settings so I can access it! Try to get as much info as possible but it's ok for it to be a work in progress.

Drafts will be due Monday (I decided to give you another weekend). If you want to move along and wish for me to take a look at it, schedule an appointment with me!
